At some point...
I may never win this argument.
This morning while enjoying my coffee I took a second to think about what mom said to me yesterday. She was talking about how she only wants to drink organic milk, which I got and I need to watch what I eat. My response back is that you know when you have to budget and you have child care to pay, organic milk can break you or organic products in general.
AND..
What I eat?
Do you even look at what I eat? Do you know what it is that I am cooking, the ingredients, the quality, the nutrition level..I didn't lose weight on my own without watching what I eat...does she even know it's a fuckin lifestyle change, one that I think I have under control very well.....
My mom: well you at a lot of rice....oh and that stuff, what is that btw???
She's talking about Cous Cous. Which mine is whole wheat. I do eat rice but when I cook rice for myself at home I use brown jasmine rice. Pasta- again whole wheat organic shit...I cook with ground turkey or chicken. I eat balanced..What the fuck?????
I just don't get it. Should I be eating carrots and a head of lettuce 5 times a day???? I doubt enjoying pancakes with my daughter 2 times a month will bring my health to a halt..
This conversation can just be soooooooooooooooo annoying sometimes......................

For weight loss, the most important thing is portion size and caloric intake. Sneaking an Oreo won't balloon you up three dress sizes. Snarfing down a bag of them every week might.
And it's true.....eating 'healthy' and organic IS expensive. It doesn't fit into everyone's budget, sad to say. But the 'conventional' meats and produce aren't going to kill you either....I think a lot of what people are paying for is their own peace of mind and not much else.
And also, I used to be overweight, I've worked soooo hard to be where I'm at now.I wish my parents would just step outta the box for a minute and realize their daughter doesn't eat shit everyday and that "everything in moderation"works for me.
